<p>So I've been a bit busy the last few days but I wanted to try and get started a bit with this "meta" discussion. I feel like there are a ton of burning concrete questions that I would like to act on. But probably the first thing to define is the <strong>scope</strong> of the working group / discussion.</p>
<p>My view of the meta working group "charter" is something like this:</p>
<ul>
<li>Describe and document how the compiler team functions at a high-level</li>
<li>Create templates and some minimal guidelines for working groups</li>
<li>Write down initial list of working groups :)</li>
</ul>

<p>I think we can kind of adjust on the fly. I don't see this being a huge time sync. But there are a number of questions I would like to find the answers to very soon. Examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>What naming convention to use for Zulip streams? <code>t-compiler/wg-foo</code>?</li>
<li>Where do we store the documents describing compile team? I propose <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team">the compiler-team repository</a></li>
<li>What about for working groups? Same repo? Dedicated repo?</li>
</ul>

<p>Sorry for failure to follow-up. I was thinking of scheduling an initial meeting with the goal of helping to elaborate out the "goals and questions" this working group aims to add, and to kind of roughly prioritize them. I was hoping to do an initial brainstorm of my own thoughts and encourage others to do the same -- maybe make a Google form?</p>
<p>I suppose we can schedule that meeting for next week. I think Zulip is probably the way to go here, this doesn't feel like it requires video.</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116009">@nikomatsakis</span> Thanks! One more task to add to the set of thigns to do is to collect a set of tools that seem to work everywhere.  Where I work, they block both dropbox and google docs (to what extent that they can). Maybe we should collect a set of tool suggestions, and then have everyone test to see what they can reach from their various work sites...</p>

<p>It occurs to me it's probably worth talking a bit about the "role" of this WG, and that perhaps I should put some thought into recruiting and/or advertising for the meeting -- but I think maybe for first meeting we should not try to tackle complex topics (e.g., defining the role of a journeyperson in more depth) but rather try to setup achievable tasks (like: adjust website to list videos or something) and then we can try to get people involved in helping us do those tasks?</p>

<p>well I meant the latter, but I do think there is a tiny amount of overlap in that I want to get the compiler-team's repo more visible from the main website</p>

<p>still I think we have a bit of work to do "locally" before we start trying to figure out how to tie that in to the main site</p>

<p>Perhaps the initial meeting should focus on understanding and enumerating the problems that the working group aims to solve and any constraints we want on the solution space (ie. don't want to introduce unnecessary bureaucracy or administrative overhead). </p>
<p>Then interested parties in the working group could discuss the various problems we aim to solve (in Zulip topics or compiler-team github issues?) and propose various solutions to them. And by the next meeting (next week or the week after perhaps), there can be a small summary of each issue and solutions, some discussion and talk about how to move forward with these solutions  - how to make them visible (ie. website), how to implement them - some concrete next steps.</p>

<p>Seems like getting a sense of our overall scope is good. I think also good is kind of coming up with some immediately workable things. I'm generally wary of trying to plan too far in advance -- things usually become clearer once you've gotten going a bit.</p>

<p>My only reservation with my suggestion is that it is perhaps too slow going and even slightly redundant as some problems we've already decided on solutions to - e.g. working groups, journeypeople - there are just some unresolved questions about those. Though it would clarify the scope of the wg.</p>
